How does a mortise lock work?
A Mortise lock has four parts excluding the pocket or mortise you make on the door frame. The one controlling the activation of the bolt is the lock body which is fitted inside the pocket. Meanwhile, the one adding reinforcements to the durability of Mortise is its strike plate. The handle of your Mortise lock is called the lock trim, whereas, the keyed cylinder is where you will insert the key to turn the bolt inside the lock body.
What is the difference between mortise and cylindrical locks?

In terms of installation, a cylindrical lock is designed to pass through the door frame while a Mortise is fitted inside the door frame. The former is much easier and faster to install, while the latter requires more time and effort because we have to make a pocket where to insert the lock body.
